It's the oldest, simplest, yet probably still the most effective method for making sure you get everything done: the humble to-do list. But is there a way to get more out of your daily check list? We asked the experts: How can we make our to-do lists better, how can we streamline them to get things done faster? Is is possible to make a to-do list fun?
Check out their answers below:
BETTER
Use a to-do list as an intake document and not as a working tool, says Peter Bregman, author of 18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Done. Make a list of what you need to get done and assign it a time on your calendar. Then run your day from your calendar, not your to-do list. "You're more likely to complete a task if you give it a when and where," he says.
FASTER
Use a to-do list app to record your errands and shopping items, and get an automatic reminder when you're near the appropriate location, says Carley Knobloch, Today show tech contributor and digital lifestyle expert.
